How Do I Prevent Water Damage In My Attica Home This Spring?

4/27/2022 (Permalink)

We all look forward to Spring sunshine after the gloomy skies and cold of wintertime, but it isn’t uncommon to experience heavy rainfall, high winds, and more, as well. The resulting damage to your Attica home due to floodwaters or heavy rain can be significant. From weakening a structure - such as columns, walls, fencing, steps, etc. - to allowing the perfect environment for a mold infestation to appear, a flooding event can lead to severe consequences, no matter how much water is involved.

One of the best ways to protect your Attica home from water damage is to be prepared in advance. Keep reading for tips on some ways to prevent water damage.

What Are Some Prevention Tips That Will Keep My Attica Home Safe From Water Damage?

Some best practices for water damage prevention to your home are:

• Regular Maintenance. Maintaining the condition of your home is smart. Check for areas that come in contact with rain and wind, such as roofing, and be sure to complete necessary repairs right away. Windows and doors need to be kept in good condition and sealed well in advance of wet weather. 
• Flooding Prevention. If you live in an area near a river or creek or have drainage ditches on your property, you will want to take the necessary precautions to ensure that rising waters won’t get near your property. Some of these concerns will need to be handled by city or county authorities, so find out who your contact people are and reach out to them for tips and pointers. 
• Gutters. While you’re checking your roof, you should also pay close attention to the gutters. It’s hard to overstate the value of gutters in protecting your home. Pull leaves and debris from gutters and downspouts. Reattach gutters that have pulled away from the house, and run a hose on the roof to check for proper drainage. If leaks exist, dry the area and use caulking or epoxy to seal the leak.
